Italy July 2015

Will the new face be enough to win over the Golf GTE?

Nissan Leaf Leading BEV's, Close Race in the PHEV Department

July stayed below the 200-something units we have been used to in the Italian EV Market, although EV Share continues stable at 0,16%.The Nissan Leaf increased the YTD leadership, thanks to another off month of the Renault Zoe (Only seven units sold), with the french supermini now being chased by its Twizy relative (#3 with 14% share, Italy is its most successful market).

In other news, the Golf GTE is only one unit ahead the Outlander PHEV, in the race for PHEV Best-Seller, both should the #5 Citröen C-Zero in the near future.Tesla is also increasing the pace, with 15 units sold last month, it was not only the second best ever month for the american brand in Italy, but also the first time that the Model S sold in two digits in two consecutive months, does this means that Tesla is now seriously looking at Italy?
